Searches: Keyword & Integrated Search Box

One attractive feature of Firefox is the ability to create customized
keyword searches for any search box on the Internet.

In this case we'll show you how to make one for the University of Texas
homepage.  You'll just right-click on the search box, select Add a
Keyword for this search.

You'll then be asked to give a name and a keyword for that search box. 
In this case we're going to choose utexas as our keyword.

What this keyword allows you to do is in the Location bar search select
a... put in a keyword that you selected and then follow it by search
terms which then will automatically search that search box.

Sends ... Firefox to that search box and uses the search terms you
entered.  In this case we'll use utexas and then scholarships grants and
fellowships.

After entering the keyword followed by the search terms if you hit enter
in the Location bar it will then take Firefox to that search engine that
the keyword is associated with using those search terms.

Another nice search function of Firefox is the Search Box located in the
upper righthand corner of the Location bar which allows you to have
search multiple search engines by entering search terms in there and
hitting go or enter.  You'll also have a the option to add more engines
which in this case we just added A9 search and Alta Vista.

This is very useful and allows you to quickly search multiple search
engines. 05:43 For example, using the Search box we can search multiple
search engines for the same terms we used on the utexas site, grants,
scholarships, and fellowships.

If you hold down ALT when we hit enter in the either in the (Location)
toolbar or the Search box it will open these things in new tabs.

So this way we were able to search Google, Yahoo, A9, and Alta Vista for
fellowships, scholarships, and grants all very quickly and all in the
same window.

In that then we'll be able to tab between the different results and
choose different locations to investigate.  This is all done through the
Search toolbox in the upper righthand corner of the screen.
